The compounds of the present invention relate to chain-extended and chain-modified analogues of salacinol, including embodiments where the sulfate moiety has been substituted with a carboxylate or phosphate moiety. In other embodiments the sulfate moiety has been shifted by one carbon atom in the zwitterionic structure. In another embodiment the polyhydroxylated side chain may be replaced with a lipophilic alkyl chain and a suitable counterion. The invention also encompasses methods for synthesizing the salacinol analogues and using the analogues for enzyme inhibition applications.
